NOTE:

  • For this donut I used a 13 cm mold, baking twice, if you want to make it bigger for example,

    26–28 cm, it will simply be bigger.

  • When grating the lemon peel, be careful not to remove the white part, which is bitter!

  • You can use orange flavoring instead of vanilla.

  • Don't forget to take out the ricotta 30 minutes before making this donut because for the perfect recipe in this one, the ricotta eggs must be at room temperature.

  • If you make this dessert, send a picture and a comment.

  • Divide the dessert into several pieces and snack with a cappuccino, keep in a dry place.
